what I have been doing instead of blogging

• reading pulitzer prize winning novels
  
• eating my roommate's homemade soup
  
• rubbing liniment on my horse's legs after she was in a car/trailer accident (everyone's fine)
  
• rearranging the living room
  
• re-rearranging the living room, and then squinting, and then moving the rug four inches, and then squinting some more
  
• declaring the living room rearrangement a success
  
• eat.sweat.blogging
  
• wearing galoshes, for lo, the rains are upon us
  
• preparing for nanowrimo, a process which so far has just amounted to thinking, "I should prepare for nanowrimo"
  
• walking quietly under the red lanterns at the art museum, alone, on a cool rainy evening
  
• knitting a hat for my halloween costume
  
• listening to and thinking obsessively about Philip Glass music
